Private Pilot Flight Training

A Private Pilot is the holder of a Private Pilot License. They are able to fly to almost anywhere in the world, but are limited in the type of aircraft that they can fly.

To obtain this license you will need to pass a written exam and pass the practical exam. Once you have received your privatepilot license you can take friends up with you when you fly. An additional benefit is that you can split the cost of the entire flight equally with your passenger.

A pilot who has completed Transport Canada's requirements for the private license, including a minimum of 45 hours of flight time and passing a knowledge exam and flight test.

In our senior year of college, USAF ROTC provided flight-qualified cadets with 35 hours of flight training , using civilian instructors, in which we got our Private Pilot license.

Different aircraft were used by different contractors, but it was mostly Cessna 150 or Piper Colt aircraft
